Offensive tackle Ryan Clady is unhappy with his contract. Center J.D. Walton and guard Chris Kuper have injury concerns. As he proved a year ago, Manning's throwing arm is just fine. But all the bells and whistles of an offense are muted if the offensive line isn't humming along at peak efficiency.
Here's a stat to ponder. In 2012, Manning threw the football 583 times and was sacked 21 times. San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers threw 521 times and was sacked 49 times. Any guesses why Rivers often looked like he forgot how to play QB? Listen to Peter Burns of Mile High Sports Radio and I discuss the importance of the Denver offensive line to Manning here:
How glad are you now that the Broncos spent good money to acquire O-lineman Louis Vasquez? Tell us your thoughts. Please. And thanks.
